I checked at avant.avant.com.tw and it doesn't have a running IMAP server.

Here's a checklist:

1) Since you are running SUN systems, did you remember to add the imap
   server into NIS (a.k.a. Yellow Pages)?

2) Was the line that you entered into inetd.conf consistant with other
   entries?  Not all inetd implementations take the same format of
   arguments in their inetd.conf file.

3) Did you remember to restart inetd?
